Chapter VII

Wen Zhili sat in his chair and pondered, until he heard a knock on the door. Chunxiao pushed the door in and bowed in front of Wen Zhili. "I don't know what the master commands?"

"Come with me to the old lady." Wen Zhili stood up from the chair as he spoke, and Chunxiao went over to straighten his robe for him.

"Won't you ask me the purpose of this trip?" Wen Zhili stared at Chunxiao.

"Naturally, you shouldn't ask too much about being a maid, just do what the master tells you." Chunxiao straightened his robe and stood to the side.

"You and Heluo are really different." Wen Zhili smiled and walked towards the door.

"Slaves and maids have always been stupid, not as clever as Heluo. Say too much and make mistakes, silence is golden. Chunxiao lowered her eyes and replied.

"You gentle temperament, if the new lady enters the door in the future, won't you have to be bullied?" Wen Zhili looked at Chunxiao.

"Chunxiao is a maid, and Mrs. is the master. There is nothing to bully or not bully, if Mrs. is angry, it means that Chunxiao is not good enough. Chunxiao looked docile, she knew that Wen Zhili hated people to go beyond the rules, take care of things that she shouldn't care, and give birth to extravagant hopes that she shouldn't have. She knows this very well, she will always only do what she does, she will not compare, and she will not ask for extravagance, which is why Wen Zhili has changed so many maids, and only Chunxiao has always been there.

"In the end, it is Chunxiao, and I know what it means to be proportionate. Everyone else said, you and Heluo have been able to stay by my side for many years because you are smart, beautiful and capable. But the other maids in the house are no worse than you. Do you know why you are the ones who stay? After Wen Zhili finished speaking, he looked at Chunxiao quietly, as if waiting for her answer.

"It's obedient." Chunxiao still looked deferential. Wen Zhili didn't say anything after hearing this, and walked out of the study. Chunxiao just followed silently, doing her duty as a maid.

When He Luo came out of the study, he went directly to the account room to find Chunxiao. Heluo has never been good at dealing with these complicated affairs, and during Chunxiao's absence, it is estimated that there are really a lot of things piled up.

Chunxiao carefully counted the income and expenditure of the time she was absent in the eldest prince's courtyard, and confirmed the items in the warehouse. Originally, this kind of thing should not be done by the maid, but the eldest prince has never married, and this kind of management of the things in the Wenzhi Courtyard is that she and Chunxiao are responsible for together.

Because they did what the heroine should have done, the old lady felt that the two of them were out of line, and she didn't like them all. even blamed them for Wen Zhili's refusal to marry, thinking that the two of them wanted to climb into Wen Zhili's bed and become the heroine, so that the wind blew in the ears of the eldest prince and made him not marry for many years.

After explaining to Chunxiao what the master asked her to do, He Luo took over Chunxiao's work and began to sort out the accounts. He Luo originally planned to wait for Chunxiao to come back and hand over these things to her, after all, He Luo felt a headache when he looked at the dazzling things in this warehouse and the dense words on the accounts.

But compared to going to see the old lady, He Luo felt that these things were much more pleasing to the eye in an instant. But then again, these things should be done with He Luo when Chun Xiao is not there, and He Luo was lazy before he piled up so many things. He Luo can only say that this is called self-inflicted iniquity, and you cannot live.

When sorting out the accounts, He Luo couldn't help but think of Wen Zhili's marriage and let out a long sigh, worrying about his future life. The entire Wen Mansion said that she and Chunxiao were really rare "powerful" maids in the world, and some people even jokingly called them the little heroines of the Wen Mansion.

When this title reached the ears of the old lady, He Luo and Chunxiao were locked up for several days, and later Wen Zhili personally brought them out. After Wen Zhili knew what had happened, he ordered the people in the palace not to chew the root of their tongues again, and this matter was considered to be in the past.

When He Luo sorted out all the accounts, counted the things, and locked the door of the warehouse. It was already night when I came out. When He Luo went to the study, it happened that Wen Zhili came over with Chunxiao.

He Luo listened to him and instructed Chunxiao: "Tomorrow, you and Lu Yu will go to Xu's Mansion for me with a bride price, if Xu Jingzhi asks, you will say that I have something important to do and can't go." ”

"Yes, the slave and maid will go to the treasury to prepare the bride price." After Chunxiao finished speaking, he retreated.

Seeing Chunxiao leaving, He Luo walked over and saluted Wen Zhili. Wen Zhili smiled when he saw her and asked, "When did you come over?" ”

"Just now when the master was talking about the bride price." He Luo said with a smile.

"So, I have a task for you here. Go and investigate everything about Xu Rouling, I want to know all her things. Including her preferences, as well as the places she frequents, and her network of contacts in Xu Mansion and the circle of Miss Qianjin in Beijing. Wen Zhili's expression was still gentle, but He Luo could hear the seriousness in his tone.

"Heluo understands, I'll do it tomorrow. However, since it is a proposal, why not go in person? He Luo felt a little puzzled.

"Xu Jingzhi will never marry his daughter to me easily, and I won't have to touch it myself tomorrow. Xu Jingzhi is not easy to deal with, but it is much easier to deal with his daughter. Wen Zhili's eyes were calm, as if the person who asked to marry someone else's daughter was not himself.

He Luo knew clearly, how could a man with such an introverted mood care about her preference for a tool. It's a blessing that I wasn't so smart at that moment that I thought he would leave the decision to himself.

This incident also made her further understand that this man was not something she should touch.
